American Horses in England.

During the past year no less than 10,000 American horses have been sold In London alone. A large number are used for the omnibuses and street cars. The cabmaster and smaller dealer profess not to touch them, the former believing, and possibly rightly, that the majority of foreign horses are somewhat soft, while, as a rule, he declares that at his price he can get plenty of well-bred English horses, and that they do his work very well. The fact is, however, that there are almost as many American horses drawing cabs as American subjects riding In thein. After American and Canadian horses have changed hands under the hammer they are resold without anything being said about their nationality. They get Into the country and add to the difficulties and perplexities of the breeder.—London Field.
